Sen. Brown: "Stop the Chicanery"

Remember Susan Powter, the hyper-aggressive fitness and diet guru from back in the day? Her signature catchphrase was "stop the insanity!" Well, U.S. Senator Scott Brown says, "stop the chicanery."

In the GOP weekly radio address captured on Youtube below, Sen. Brown says that the healthcare powergrab--i.e, ramming through the health-care bill, "whatever it takes, whatever the cost"--is defying the will of the American people. The president and his supporters still haven't gotten the message that the people do not want the government to seize control of the medical delivery system, the senator says.

Susan: Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. The senator wasn't really stealing any one's phrases, and sorry if the above blog post gave that impression; we were just making a reference to pop culture, as we often do on this blog!

Also, Sen. Brown seems to be doing fine as a public speaker. He managed to pull off one of the biggest upsets in American political history, in part because of his debating skill.
